In my opinion, The Villages Daily Sun is an informative and engaging newspaper. Of the dozens of newspapers my wife and I have subscribed to over the years, we look forward to reading this one the most. It is not the New York Times, thank diety.
There are several reasons why a site like Mondo Times would have negative views about this paper:
1. Newspapers have, over the past couple of decades, taken on a more liberal bias. The Daily Sun is a "contrarian" newspaper in this regard. Most often, except in very local markets, contrarians are not that popular.
2. Folks in the main stream print media business, which is dominated by liberals, are the ones who are most likely to provide opinions about other newspapers.
3. Younger people (20's and 30's) tend to be more liberal and dislike conservative publications, especially if seen as being controlled by a business and not by other liberals. They are more likely to be on the computer rating newpapers.
4. There is a growing bias (jealousy?) against success and big business. Put the two together along with control of media outlets, and folks get a bit hostile in their views.
